Handrails with advertising, ticker ads and lighting

The upright handholds in the Citaro have the same outwardly curved shape as in the vehicle’s predecessor, with their even spacing contributing to the comfortable, uncluttered feel of the passenger space. Straight handholds are used at the front of the vehicle, with a wider interval to open the space up for passengers boarding the vehicle.

The horizontal handrails are in the form of oval extruded aluminium sections. This shape and the larger diameter give them excellent grip. The new shape also allows the integration of light fittings, replaceable ad inserts or even ticker ads. The stop request buttons around the circumference are easily located by all passengers.

Smaller cross duct, new stowage compartments

The cross duct behind the front entrance of the Citaro is flat, providing higher overhead clearance and a more spacious feel.

The luggage racks by the handrails are solid. The optional wheelchair place provides better protection for mobility-impaired passengers in the form of handrails with a wider radius of curvature and a glass parking wall for wheelchairs. Screen prints are placed on the glass partitions to make them easier to see.
